A meet-cute is pretty well-named. It’s the exact moment of a romantic story when the leads meet for the first time and it HAS TO BE cute. They might collide and pour coffee on each other, share an excellent conversation in an elevator, or just bicker like no one’s watching at a business meeting. The point is, if the chemistry sizzles, you know they’ll be kissing right before the credits roll.

Listen in for insights into the pros and cons of meet-cutes generally, plus a deep-dive discussion into the meet-cutes of When Harry Met Sally..., Sleepless in Seattle, What's Up, Doc?, Serendipity, and 50 First Dates. It's time for some rom-com de-con!
